Homework competes with extracurricular commitments, household responsibilities, youth meetings, friends. A business person says "yes" until his or her resume' looks impressive, but their contributions in each area are insignificant. An overcommitted woman needs a valet just to manage all her hats: wife, mother, committee worker, volunteer, career person, creator, entertainer. By taking on more than we can possibly do well, we live in direct violation of God's command to "make it your ambition to lead a quiet life."
